I have created a couple of Task Groups, which show up fine in straight MicroStation. However, my problem is I am using Bentley Architecture and I can't seem to see them. Why? Can I easily overcome this, and if so, how?
We had a problem similar but what I was doing was exporting to dwg for our consultants.
The interesting part was that I was giving these guys dwgs exported from BA and they were using Microstation by itself. And they still had that dialog box …
Hi Folks
Work with color in sheets (pic see attached)
Q: How I can work with color that the façade grid witch is on a separate level is visible?
Q: It is possible to organize different levels of information that are visible on separate levels…
Hi Steve,
thanks a lot for your detail explanation, I have one question not directly related to spaces annotations, but it relates to your text, so I don't want to start a new thread.
The idea of the separation of model (3D) or drawing …

Hi
I am currently using BA 08.11.07.80 and am looking to upgrade to the latest version v08.11.07.87. I have a query regarding my existing dataset. I have created new components that have been added as company parts. Is there a way that these can be…
Please note the following explanation re. unwanted levels in any Bentley Architecture file:
The parts and family system can define different levels for forwarded, cut, reflected and centerline graphics. Since the Drawing Extraction Manager created…
Using the Dataset Explorer, there's a pick-list that allows you to select which aspect of the part to edit. In your case, you'd want the Drawing Symbology settings to match the Definition settings. Though I have to admit, that's pretty unusual... Most…
Hi Folks
Move an ISO section reference in a plot sheet, entire 3D model is visible
If I move an ISO- section (pic 1) in a plot sheet, so I see the entire model (pic 2)!
Is that maybe a bug?
Q: is this common, or can I avoid this?
…

Eric was referring to Building Views, aka, Drawing Views. They are a real time method for doing what you had described.
Using Drawing Extractions would require some type of macro/script, but you'd have to be fairly knowledgable to create something…
This has certainly turned into an.... uh, interesting discussion.
For everyone's reference, Forward View Part Mapping has been available in core TriForma since at least 8.5.2 (the oldest version I have installed). I just double checked. So this…
I created Building Named View and attach it to a sheet. After adding annotations and dimensions I have a floor plan.
Now I'd like to export it (make a snapshot) to 2D design file, that I can send out from the company, where it will be used as a…
Hi emilberger
Today i have expose my pb to Bentley and i hope some answer.
So the general pb is how to work in 3D in architecture. Make a draw in 3d, no pb (or not yet..lol no). But the pb is to make extraction.
With the DEM, many cells are not…
Hi Folks
On a sheet I’d like to draw a grid for the façade in 2D. But always information of the wall pops up and colored pops up too. That is exasperating!
(pic see attached)
Q: How I can avoid, exasperation and senseless pop up information…

Datasets for Bentley Architecture V8 i version 08.11.05 require the following mandatory changes to support:
new seed files to support Dynamic Views
placement of walls and compound walls via the DataGroup system
placement of stairs and specification…
I have noticed that in the lastest version of BA if I have tfpart selected that I want to be applied to the solid I am placing. Say a Primitive Slab Solid, the part is not applied automatically as it used to be.
I have to apply the part manually…
Steve, thanks! It helped ... a bit :-(
Now I am able to save individual 2D sheet with no references, which is a good progress definitely, but hatches are lost. I assume (and hope) the perfect results can be achieved and the problem is because…
Good point... Automatic coping could prevent members from being manipulated without the originating application (Structural) being loaded. I'd imagine loading the building suite might work...?
Is there a way to use the new Bentley Architecture V8i on projects/models created with Bentley Architecture XM datasets? We would like to install the new version for our users, but have concerns on how this works? We are small enough that we can switch…
When modifiying and/or building new doors in PCS you can put an Elevation Door Swing Marker onto the door so that when it is extracted in bentley it will show which direction the door is to open. Is it poosible, and if so, how do you change the Elevation…
Steve,
I think I have figured out what is causing my problem? If you have Preference:Triforma: Keypoints For Associative Dimensioning Turned On then it appears to ONLY allow you to place an associative dimension string at the top of the wall which…
BA v8i (8.11.05.46) doesn't update the ACS for drawing commands from Floor Manager unless I exit and reopen the file in BA.
Basically If I change to another floor within the ones I have created (i.e. from floor with z=0,00 to floor with z= -3,00…
